Ann Coulter (Is she hateful?)

Well yes. I missed this one.Yes, apart from his belated support for gay marriage and the abolition of DADT, Obama is exactly a conservative from 50 years ago. Back in the good old days.But right-wing rhetoric has shifted so far that Eisenhower and Nixon and Ford and Reagan would nowadays be considered Evil Communist Marxists Who Want To Destroy America if they stood on their policies today. Obama continues their tradition, but you are so far right that you can't appreciate that from a historical perspective America has just re-elected a moderate Republican.

Y'know, I actually thought you might have been telling the truth in post #199. How wrong I was.

Which is kind of the problem, isn't it? I regard conservatives as wrong; she and her acolytes regard liberals as traitors or potential traitors who need to be physically intimidated by the threat of execution. (Unless, of course, she is using that famous "hyperbole" again.)

How about you pray to stop seeing us as your enemies? We're not. We are people who disagree with you. Besides pointing out that you're wrong, no-one here has ever done anything to hurt you.

Here's an idea --- try knowing things with your brain instead of your gut. Oh, and if you find something "hard to prove" that's often a sign that it's not true.

Well, I guess this is why we're on opposite sides.I believe in things because there is evidence for them.You believe in things because of "the subconscious mind" and "intuition" and knowing things in your "gut" and you think that these are better than "mere investigation of obvious facts".Well then, I don't see what we can talk about. I put "mere investigation of obvious facts" ahead of my gut feeling. You put your gut feeling above "mere investigation of obvious facts". But the only way I can debate with you is by presenting "mere investigation of obvious facts". That's as far as I can go. To me, that is what argument means --- we investigate the facts. If the "obvious facts" mean nothing to you, then I am not sure that I can say anything to you.Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

Just to get this straight, so to speak, are you talking about gay marriage? If not, what are you talking about? No. No you do not.

But I can recognize treason. Treason is easy to recognize. Treason is not disagreeing with Ann Coulter. Well, yes. Her whole statement was really a way of telling a stupid vindictive lie.If it is not true, which it isn't, then it is false, which it is. Well, up until 9/11 the worst terrorist act in the USA was the Oklahoma City bombing perpetrated by the conservative terrorist Timothy McVeigh. Your heroine Coulter said that her only regret about that act was that McVeigh didn't target the New York Times building. What similar atrocities have been committed by liberals and supported by liberal pundits?

But in fact it's sad and pathetic.Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

Well, I'm not sure how to parse 1.61803's post. If he means that all Republicans defend Coulter, then he is clearly wrong. If he means that all those Republicans who do defend her are in sympathy with her, then he may well be right.And I have no idea what he thinks the word "insipid" means, but I'm sure it doesn't mean what he thinks it means.
